I can recommend Sanjya Tidke without hesitation to help you with the sale of your apartment. Sanjya is by far one of the most knowledgeable real estate agents when it comes to the value of apartments at River Terrace. Sanjya priced our apartment at a price point that was satisfactory to both us as the sellers and to those looking to purchase an apartment in this building. She had a steady stream of prospective clients coming to view the apartment, and was very good about notifying us when scheduling showings. Not only is Sanjya extremely professional, but she is also a pleasure to work with. Selling an apartment can be a stressful time for those involved, but I can say first hand that Sanjya made the entire process very simple and enjoyable. The entire process from our first meeting to closing was approximately 1 month - a very quick turnaround in today's NYC real estate market. I would highly recommend you consider using Sanjya when you decide to sell your unit. - Regards, Tom M. "As a first-time home buyer, I was very fortunate to have Sanjya and Michelle-two knowledgeable, sharp, and professional brokers-on my side to guide me confidently through an unquestionably nuanced, complex, multi-month process, and to educate me along the way. They employed their years of real estate experience and perseverance to get my must-haves, resulting in a wonderful co-op apartment in North Riverdale. Sanjya and Michelle were always friendly, patient, and available. Their genuine caring and clear communication lowered my stress level. They provided logical insight straight through from the start (open houses and scheduled appointments) to the co-op board interview and the closing. What a wonderfully successful experience! I highly recommend Sanjya and Michelle, and their team, to other first-time and veteran home buyers." - Peggy T. (co-op buyer) 'I highly recommend Sanjya Tidke, Scott Krieger and Halstead. I placed my co-op back on the market (which hadn't sold earlier) through them. They provide the same dedication to selling less expensive or more expensive properties, remain professional and communicative. I'm now in contract and delighted!' - Barbara Z. "Working with Michelle and the Sanjya Tidke Team was a wonderful experience. My case was a little more complex than a normal purchase and Michelle was very communicative with emails between lawyers and myself and very helpful. I would recommend Michelle, Sanjya, and the Sanjya Tidke Team to anybody." ' Stuart S. "Sanjya worked exceptionally hard for us during the process of selling our co-op. She was instrumental in preparing the apartment for pictures and showings, leveraging her interior design background. We received multiple qualified offers at our original asking price and successfully closed the sale of our co-op in less than 6 months. Our experience with Sanjya was very positive and we would highly recommend her to anyone in the Riverdale market given her experience and network of contacts." - Dora and Nathan G. My wife and I wish to express our gratitude for the excellent job you have done selling our apartment. We tried a different agency before contracting you. This led to our extreme disappointment and resulted in six months of wasted time. By contrast, dealing with you demonstrated to us what is the highest standard in your profession. Thank you for your ability to find a solution for any problem arising in the course of the selling process. And thank you for your strong negotiation skills that helped find compromises between us and the buyers. Your impeccable handling of the entire process, from the presentation of the property to finalization of the closing, led to such an expedited completion of the sale. Serge and Elvira Michelle and Sanjya are some of the most professional realtors I've ever worked with. As a NY native and the son of a broker, I was positively floored by not only their responsiveness, but their commitment to me as their client. Most of all, they provided complete transparency, not the bait and switch tactics that I've known other salespeople to pull. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we saw 30 apartments in around a month until we found the right one. When we ran into hiccups, they tried to smooth everything out as much as possible. To say that I'm excited about my new home is an understatement. Thanks so much, folks! Chris G. Halstead Riverdale, LLC
